ORDER OF REMAND
16
17
The defendants removed this action solely on the basis of diversity of
18
citizenship jurisdiction. Among the motions pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s
19
Motion to Remand, filed December 5, 2012, wherein the plaintiff seeks the
20
remand of this action in part due to a lack of diversity jurisdiction. On December
21
6, 2012, in response to the plaintiff’s statement in its motion that the amount in
22
controversy does not exceed $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, the
23
defendants filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Defendants’ Notice of Removal. Since
24
there is no procedural device under federal law as a notice of the withdrawal of a
25
notice of removal, the Court will construe the defendants’ notice as their non-

subject matter jurisdiction.
